Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread (freelancer), October 2011

text: Looking for Ruby/Rails developer(s) with basic knowledge of TDD/BDD. I'm a freelancer myself, looking to expand my ability to take on new work. Ideally I'd like to have a couple developer contacts with hourly rates - in some cases I may also just have work to refer. I don't mind working with people who are willing to learn - knowledge of (or interest in learning) the following is a must: HAML, SASS, CoffeeScript, JQuery, RSpec, FactoryGirl, and general best practices in everything :). Remote only, but it wouldn't hurt to be in the Portland area.<p>Contact: josh at hintmedia dot com.

* iOS and Android UI
* HTML5 &#38; JavaScript (especially Node.js) for charting
* mySQL for local device storage
* overcoming network latency issues

text: (remote)<p>Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, LAMP, WordPress.<p>Needs: Rewrite a WordPress widget to be embeddable with a line of HTML, similar to the Twitter or Facebook Like buttons (i.e. a reference to an external JavaScript file), so it can work on all kinds of sites.<p>This includes rewriting the interface between the database and the widget to create an API for it. Like many other WordPress widgets, the current widget makes database queries itself. This was an MVP, so it's far from ideal.<p>Timeline: Start in late October, hoping to have this completed in a month or so, but don't have a strict deadline.<p>Contact: mikelee@moodthingy.com
